If a lie would prevent a murder should a christian lie ?

Lying
lie?
As I read your question , I couldn't help but ask myself..............The only "one" who knows the future is God, so I suppose you would have to get an answer directly from Him in the situation if applied,
Ah He sure likes His mysteries doesn't He? lol Have a great day !

I don't quite know how to apply the following verses, but they seem to go along with this topic...
Exodus 1:15-21
"Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other was named Puah; and he said, "When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see {them} upon the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live." But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt had commanded them, but let the boys live. So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, "Why have you done this thing, and let the boys live?" The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them." So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and became very mighty. Because the midwives feared God, He established households for them."
The midwives lied to Pharoah, but God blessed them for fearing Him.

"How is it that Christians today will pay $20 to hear the latest Christian concert, but Jesus can't draw a crowd?"

Well, IMHO because some Christians don't know how to make Jesus relevant to people without cheapening Him and His message. *shrugs*Rae wrote:"How is it that Christians today will pay $20 to hear the latest Christian concert, but Jesus can't draw a crowd?"

Thanks Rae & Glow
Glows answer showed me my question wasn't formed quite right.
That Exodus referrance really hit the spot Rae.
The reason I asked the question was because I was defending my landlord
from a wicked man and she lied to the man about it to protect me.
I was concerned for her
God Bless You Both,
Bud
